Lots of non-spartan people duel wield weapons.

Ex: 007

Any others?

What would be the need of dual wielding scoped silenced SMGs/magnums? One is enough.

*sigh* ok dude listen, if you really want to get technical about it fine here it goes. Some wepons such as brute spiker and plasma rifle are simply to big for odst's to duel wield, kinda like how the chief doesnt duel wield shotguns, or snipers, sure he could hold it but aiming would be nearly impossible! lighter wepons such as the pistol or smg can not be duel wielded because they both have scopes and the ODST's armor/ visor would not alow it to zoom and would mess it up. so thats why they cant duel wield! maranda can duel wield because she does not wear armor.

I still like that they removed it, it will make gameplay more interesting.

Precisely. The reason spartans can dual wield sub-machine guns is because they are the basic SMGs, plus he can handle the recoil. ODSTs, on the other hand, use specialist equipment. They do not have the training required to be able to reload two SMGs at once, while Spartans do. Additionally, scoped and supressed weapons dual wielded with other weapons mean you can no longer use the scope, plus the supressed weapon becomes redundent due to the noises the other weapon makes.

The new automag and silenced SMG are just too powerful in my mind to dual wield. Also leeumm made a good point about the scoping also. Finally, the spiker and plasma rifle are just much too large to be dual wielded.

That is all.

You wanna try adequately aiming two weapons at once trust me, it makes sense for a normal human to not have the hand-eye coordination to perform such a feat.

Here's something I noticed about the whole dual wielding deal. If ODST's can't do it...why could Miranda Keyes do it in Halo 2. My guess is that she's a mutant.

They act all big and tough when their on camera with their friends and their guns. But when you break into their house in the middle of the night and stick a gun barrel in their face. They cry like babies and and piss their pants.

Dual wielding is a retarded thing to do. There is your reason. You've let Hollywood get to your head.
